Souvenir typescript signed “Artimus Pyle,” on a yellow 8.5 x 11 sheet with a color printed Lynyrd Skynyrd logo at the top. Quote reads, in full: “My name is Artimus Pyle. I am a survivor of the Lynyrd Skynyrd October 20th, 1977 plane crash. I flew the plane many times and know every detail of our last flight. We were embarking on a 95 city world tour going back to Europe, Japan, and Australia for the first time. Sixty miles from our destination of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on our final approach at 9000 feet, we ran out of fuel and started to spiral down. We hit the Mississippi pine trees and all motion stopped within 10 seconds of impact. I knew the only thing that would help my friends was immediate assistance from first hand responders. I made my way through the swamp to a farm house and brought help back to the site. I feel that my marine corps training provided me with the ability to make life saving decisions. Although my injuries were severe, they were nothing compared to that of my friends, The music will live in our hearts forever and the memory of that day will be etched in my mind till the day I die.” In fine condition.
